Light – no waste – variation: the main features of TEN, a new and innovative collection by Conde House and Michael Schneider.

TEN, the Japanese word for heaven, describes the concept of light, almost airy design. Deriving from the aeronautical, the chair’s concept has been perfectly mastered by Conde House’s craftsmen.

A simple, yet difficult to realise concept with striking features: lightweight design in solid wood, superior seating comfort and a wide range of combinations of wood colours and upholstery materials.

Basic versions for contract and residential purposes can be upgraded up to very exclusive solid wood/leather combinations.

At Sydney Road, our aim was to create a series of highly refined spaces, each with its own unique features, in an apparently unassuming suburban infill apartment building.

SYDNEY 385WILLIAM SMARTSYDNEY_

SMARTDESIGNSTUDIO.COM

Each part of the building was carefully considered, from the interiors, with their beautiful concrete walls and ceilings, to the two-storey voids opening up the façade to the sky and the view.

Externally, we selected brick to clad the building; it’s an authentic, natural material that ages well. Solid brick lintels and raked horizontal joints add a sense of quality, while a fire-engine red number and looping balustrades add personality. Internally, bathrooms, kitchens and laundries are concealed within a centralised cream-coloured joinery box allowing concrete walls to remain unencumbered. Black lights and fittings look smart against concrete ceilings. The combined effect of each decision becomes apparent on closer examination; the final building is calm and elegant, and feels highly valuable.

1 Track lights run along the length of the apartments, allowing lighting to be changed to suit furnishings and art.

2 Bathrooms, laundries and storage, along with their carefully coordinated plumbing and ventilation services, are all hidden behind full-height joinery panels.

3 Beneath the cream tiles of the living spaces, a rubberised underlay enables concrete ceilings to remain exposed while maintaining acoustic separa-tion between apartments.

1 Design of the fluted concrete bar upstand, rolled steel pelmets and a selection of sculptural lighting and chairs have been in-spired by the artistry and forms of vintage cars. Striking steel tube pendants (echoing exhaust pipes) mark various seating options throughout.

2 A deep steel portal insertion into the street façade directs patrons into the café and frames a large herb planter outside, and a street front view and timber banquette from the inside. Also blurring the threshold between the exterior and interior is a solid timber portal/bench with an integrated window – folding down to form the street front banquette when the window is open.

Shapes and patterns found in an auto workshop – and the artistry of vintage cars in racing green – were the inspiration behind the crafting and details of Mister + Miss, a café in a former mechanic shop.

MISTER + MISSMARIA DANOSMELBOURNE_

MARIADANOS.COM.AU

The brief was to create an exciting suburban café in a warehouse space, balancing the industrial language of the existing building with a measured dose of luxe for patrons. Considered selection of finishes was critical in achieving this brief.

Robust concrete and terrazzo finishes create a dialogue with existing masonry floors and stripped brick walls. Banquette upstands in recycled limed timber, and a feature timber wall concealing the kitchen and bathrooms, provide warmth – acting as a foil against the cooler finishes.

The challenge of creating a sense of human scale in the warehouse was addressed by staging a sculptural bar centrally, creating two zones: intimate seating for one to two people with engaged terrazzo tables, and a larger dining area defined by a series of steel portals. The portals support rolled perforated steel lighting pelmets below (referencing a mechanic’s pegboard), and ductwork above (which sits neatly between the portals and existing trusses).

Feature steel insertions and striking timber details activate the street front for dining, and the rear north courtyard with a lush borrowed landscape.

Chamfer House revisits a post and beam dwelling designed in 1977 by Kevin Borland. It sits within an established garden on Oliver’s Hill, a crucible of late modernism overlooking Port Phillip Bay.

CHAMFER HOUSEWARWICK MIHALY + ERICA SLOCOMBEMELBOURNE_

MIHALYSLOCOMBE.COM.AU

Our clients wanted to protect the timber structure and ceilings they loved, while also updating the house to suit their young family. Our intervention assumed a strategy of sensitive infiltration. We touched every room, some more heavily than others, yet retained the house’s core personality: the romantic rationalism that characterised much of Borland’s later work. We unkinked the plan, pulled back a touch on the 1970s psychedelics, and reconfigured the living and sleeping areas to better connect with the garden.

We sought to build on the juxtaposition of structural rationality and romanticism, layering a rational spatial sequence with an exploded interpretation of the chamfer. A device used regularly by Borland, we developed it into a three-dimensional form that operates from the macro scale to the micro. The faceted balcony soffit framing the view from the master bedroom is one example, as are the repetitive triangular motifs in our customised joinery hardware.

2

1 Throughout Chamfer House, we’ve used warm, natural materials that sit well within its garden setting.

2 Cement sheeting is reserved for the faceted balcony soffit and continues the natural palette of the project, but is deliberately differentiated from the original materials. It is here that we’ve evolved the chamfered form of the original house.

3 The shiplapped Silvertop ash timber lining boards are sus-tainably sourced and match the original 1970s cladding.

4 The three bedrooms open onto the garden deck, the lawn com-ing up to just the right height for dangling legs.

A LACK OF STORAGE CAN RESULT IN A KITCHEN THAT WILL FRUSTRATE YOU FOR MANY YEARS TO COME


Our client wanted to update the interior of their kitchen, laundry, dining and powder room. Built in the late 1950s, the house is a classic double-storey orange brick veneer complete with white steel ironwork and concrete balcony/verandah overlooking the bay.

BEACH ROAD PROJECTTRAVIS DEAN + CHARLIE WILDEMELBOURNE_

CANTILEVERINTERIORS.COM

As a passionate mid-century enthusiast, our client wanted a design that was sympathetic to the vintage of the house, while incorporating a sophisticated, luxurious palette of materials. Cantilever Interiors directors Travis Dean and Charlie Wilde share a long-standing interest in the materials and qualities of mid-century design, influencing the palette and detail of our Cantilever Interior ranges, so we were happy to oblige this passion and opted for our K2 Kitchen finishes, with solid timber handles and a very luxurious marble. Working within the existing floorplan of the house, we aimed to increase connectivity between living zones, and maintain the finishes and detailing throughout the rooms.

1 The Calacatta Gold marble, chosen by our client, defines the opulent 1960s look of the project, and is carefully laid throughout.

2 Blackbutt veneer and solid timber handles were designed by Cantilever Interiors and made specifically for this project, inspired by the slim, long-line handles of the era.

+ The sink and steel handles in this project were also designed by us and made locally, offering a high-quality, beautiful alter-native to imported products. The Servery opening connects the dining and living spaces, allowing joinery detailing to flow easily through the rooms.

The origin of a suburban ideology is founded in ideas of landscape. In making this project, we were as much thinking about its suburban landscape as the building itself. We aimed to create the early beginnings of a meadow and a field that stitch into the suburban terrain, and to make a building that belongs.

The client brief was for a robust and relaxed family home. Our clients’ decisions always defaulted to simple family-based needs, such as sharing spaces with children. Decisions about room planning and materials were derived from utilitarian needs, including budget, and are inspired by beauty in the ordinary things we find in our suburban field.

1 The grey concrete floor paint extends up the walls to create a datum line, making the floor feel like part of the external terrain.

2 The roof datum in this room extends very low to create a sunken room quality.

3 Finishes such as brass and marble are used next to concrete and brick for contrast, and to honour both refined and robust materials.

4 The entire fireplace is made from refractory bricks, not just the fire box, creating the feeling of a giant hearth.

Pen was established to support and promote Australian designers, underpinned by a strong ‘design local’ ethos that embraces both onshore and offshore manu-facturing opportunities. Pen is a vehicle to enable and support authentic design and ethical practice; it also simply fuels a love of good design.

Pen’s first product is a clever reinterpretation of the traditional dog kennel and is expressed in an elegantly simple form reminiscent of a child’s typical line drawn representation of home. The Dog Room is in keeping with Pen’s Slow Movement philosophy, the same environmentally conscious approach that will be applied to subsequent collaborations with multi-awarded Australian designers Nick Rennie and Jim Hannon-Tan.

“We’re constantly looking at what’s missing in the market and thinking about ways we can improve it. A problem’s not a problem, it’s a challenge that needs a solution,” says Susan Chung, creative director, Made By Pen.

The Incision House is an alteration and addition to a suburban Californian bungalow, designed as a family house for four.

INCISION HOUSEALBERT MO + EID GOHMELBOURNE_

EATAS.COM.AU

The flow of the house is interconnected and layered, spaces can be opened up or closed off with large sliding doors as required, so no open-plan living, dining and kitchen here.

Connecting the old to the new is a 6.5-metre high long, narrow void, it is the central, visual spine and the circulation of the house. Externally, this spine is expressed as a slice or an incision to a brick-based building – it provides sun, shade, air and privacy, all at the same time. The result is a bright and airy space that serves both levels.

The house is finished on a tight, modest budget. The end result is a sustainable family home that can grow with the family.

1 The perforated metal window shroud acts as both sun-shading device and servery countertop, the small holes allow light to pass through the top and spillage to drip through the bench.

2 A column-free corner allows for better flow from indoor to out-door, extending the living spaces to the northern courtyard.

3 Timber frame windows and doors humanise a domestic dwelling, the warmth and the craftsmanship juxtapose the scale of the doors and the verti-cal void.

MAXIMUM AT VIVE COOKING SCHOOL

Beautiful, non-porous, resilient and all natural, MAXIMUM porcelain panels were the clear choice for Jean-Luc Tan from Vive when selecting the benchtop surface for his stylish new cooking school in Sydney. “It was the wisest decision we made,” he says. “MAXIMUM offers the perfect combination of quality, aesthetic and practicality and the result is just outstanding.”

One of more than 40 beautiful colours and finishes in the MAXIMUM range, MAXIMUM Statuario was used for the benchtop. The sophisticated markings of the large, precision bookmatched 3000 × 1500 × 6mm porcelain panels create an outstanding design feature, while providing a technically advanced, durable, 100 percent natural work surface that withstands heat, scratching and etching.

Style Revolutionary’s signature style of unique textiles and wallpapers from talented artisans sees the release of Elworthy Studio by Kate Miller out of San Fransisco, US.

Elworthy Studio’s Decay collection features avant-garde prints on linen, wallpa-per and grass cloth all stemming from the hands-on techniques of rust fabric dying, hand-painting and hand-drawn line work. The rust dying process is unpredictable and creates beautiful organic shapes with an almost wabi-sabi-like aesthetic, which tends to reflect familiar classic motifs found in damask, lattice and ikat. The translation of pattern is textural, earthy, edgy – sometimes pretty, but altogether nonconformist.

Sited in a grassy paddock and nestled between Jarrah and Marri trees on a working cattle farm, this house aspires to satisfy the owners’ requirement for a pitched roof, traditional farm house verandah wrapping a contemporary home.FARM HOUSE

ARCHTERRAMARGARET RIVER_

ARCHTERRA.COM.AU

The primary outlook across paddocks to the east and a desire to maintain a passive solar orientation to the north generated a T-shaped plan response with the living pavilion orientated north, while the sleeping areas align east–west. Morning sun in the sleeping pavilion is moderated by a traditional verandah to the east, while a thick, rammed-earth wall to the west ensures a thermal lag effect to keep internal spaces cool into the early evening in summer.

Internally, a mix of natural, tactile materials including rammed earth, oiled timber flooring and timber veneer are contrasted with manufactured materials of plasterboard, aluminium window frames and trowel-finished concrete floors.

Rooms flow into one another through the use of door panels that slide away into the walls. A frameless glass joint to the corner glazing of the master bedroom allows for uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape.

1 We used a mix of trowel-finished natural grey concrete, Spotted Gum timber veneer and white painted plasterboard to provide contrast throughout the interior of the house.

2 The northern internal elevation appears as a timber veneer joinery unit punctuated by al-uminium-framed sliding doors and a cosy window seat, framing views to the bushland beyond.

3 The client asked for a window in the northern wall, so instead of a simple opening, we created a window seat within the shelving unit. The northern orientation of the window seat and boxed-out external shading offers winter sunbathing or shaded reading in summer.
